The Station today is at St. Mary Major for the second time during Lent. As we set our eyes on the Sacred Triduum, it is good to stand in solidarity with our Mother of Sorrows as we contemplate our Redemption.

Santa Maria Maggiore. This is our second visit to Saint Mary Major. The first was Day VIII, Wednesday, Week I. As we set our eyes on the Sacred Triduum, it is good to stand in solidarity with our Mother of Sorrows as we contemplate our Redemption. (The photo is of Regina Pacis, our Lady of Peace. It was erected by Benedict XV in
1918 in thanksgiving for the end of World War I.)
